My brother told me last night that my stepfather's dad, Len passed away yesterday morning. He had been ill for a while with lung disease or something, no one knew for sure, however his death was still quite a shock. My mother has kind of barred me from being part of her or stepdad's family so I feel really crap right now. I didn't know him very well, but I knew him well enough to be sad. I didn't tell my brother I was sad because he would probably think it was weird or somehting. I can't talk to my mum either, she's turned her phone off and won't ring. I feel so left out all the time, I just wish that they would let me be part of their family. This is also why I am upset. I feel like I am selfish because I am still thinking of myself even though this has happened. I know we all grieve differenlty but I still finding it hard. *sigh* I just need some comforting right now. I am so upset. :cry:

I'm so sorry, Jellybean. :(

If they won't let you be part of their family, even during such a sad time, then that is their problem and not yours. You have the right to feel sad and grieve for the loss of your step grandfather, and you also have the right to be a little selfish and do what you need to do to help you get through this. I hope you are okay, my thoughts are with you.

You have my sympathy.

Very little can make a person feel better at this time but the sadness will pass and it time you'll be able to remember the things that you liked about him without the sad feelings being so strong.
